Bellingcat: Ukrainian positions were attacked more than 300 times from Russian territory in 2014

During the summer of 2014, Russia launched more than 300 attacks on Ukraine using Grad-type rocket launchers, according to the founder of the international investigative group, Bellingcat, Eliot Higgins.

In an interview with German TV Channel ARD, he said, “We investigated the attacks on Ukraine during the summer of 2014. There was much evidence indicating that attacks were launched from the other side of the border, from Russia, but there was also a lack of evidence.”

Higgins said that with the help of satellite data they managed to prove Russia’s aggressive actions. Google Maps shows that since July 2014, enemy Grad launchers were used to attack Ukraine.

The founder of Bellingcat added that Russia launched attacks in at least five different locations. This information was also confirmed by witnesses in social networks.

Analysts from the international investigative group Bellingcat completely rejected the Russian version of the crash of Malaysian flight МН17. According to the Russia, the Ukrainian military is responsible for the tragedy.
